"Neon, are you literate?" Yan Jiao pulled Neon to sit on the edge of the bed and asked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Miss Hui, the slave is literate." Neon lowered her head, although she was puzzled why the young lady suddenly asked this, but she still answered truthfully.

Shen Yanjiao is not a stupid person, from the first time she saw neon, she felt that this girl must be extraordinary, but I think it must have been something that happened in the family later, which led to the fall to this point, these sad things, neon didn't say, she wouldn't ask about it. After all, there is such a thing as revealing people's scars, although Shen Yanjiao is the master, holding Neon's deed of sale in her hand, but she still doesn't want to force Neon and use other people's pain to satisfy her curiosity? I'm sorry, she, Shen Yanjiao, is not interested.

"That'...... What else would you want? Shen Yanjiao asked cautiously, for fear of hurting this hard-working girl who was full of scars and scars again.

Neon hesitated for a moment, as if she had made up her mind, gritted her silver teeth, got up and knelt in front of Shen Yanjiao, kowtowed hard, and said, "Miss Hui, slave qin, chess, calligraphy and painting...... It's all a little bit of a thing. After speaking, she paused, raised her head and glanced at Shen Yanjiao sincerely, and then looked away, her eyes were full of complex emotions, sadness and fear, but more importantly, there was a strong sense of resentment, although it was not aimed at Shen Yanjiao, but it also made people's hearts tight, and their backs were cold. Rainbow...... I must have experienced a lot of unknown things.

"Miss, will you believe me?" Neon looked at Shen Yanjiao with hope on her face and said, Shen Yanjiao also had a faint premonition about what was going to happen, and if she continued to listen, she should know some heavy things, but she didn't expect Neon to really hide secrets, too, ordinary people's homes can't raise a woman like Neon. Shen Yanjiao nodded, which was an answer. Neon's face was overjoyed, and then she opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Yanjiao.

"Let's get up and sit down first, it's not comfortable to kneel on the ground." Shen Yanjiao helped Neon up, the two came to the small table in the room and sat down, Shen Yanjiao poured a glass of water for each of them, and sat quietly without saying anything after handing it to Neon.

Neon looked at Shen Yanjiao gratefully, holding the teacup, but her thoughts gradually drifted into the distance.

"I used to have a happy home, a father and a mother, and a lovely brother who was a year younger than me. My father is a local county magistrate in a remote area, and he doesn't have much money, but the family still has a few acres of fertile land handed down from his ancestors, and he can still have a surplus to support his family, so the family has the conditions to invite my husband to teach me and my younger brother to read and write. My father was a good official, and under his jurisdiction, no one was a traitor, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, which was quite popular with the people. He would always personally check my work and supervise our studies, would take us in his arms and explain to us the obscure words in the book, and my father was a man of great wisdom, I often thought so. Neon paused, and the darkness in her eyes deepened.

"But when I was ten years old, everything changed. My father's temper changed drastically, he became very irritable and irritable, he often locked himself in the study alone, did not eat or drink for several days in a row, and threw things around, and often scolded his mother, who only endured it silently and never shed a tear in front of us. Although my father didn't beat and scolded my brother and me, he didn't care about it. Speaking of which, neon eyes are slightly red, and there is a hidden sparkle in the corners of the eyes.

"My father was decadent and didn't do anything, and it was my mother who struggled to support the family. My father must have had his troubles, and I thought that my brother and I would often help my mother with some things and share her burdens. I thought that life would go on like this, and everything would be fine if I survived, nothing worse, until ...... The day came. Thinking of this, Neon's body couldn't help but tremble, her eyes were dead, as if she had seen an extremely terrifying picture, Shen Yanjiao hurriedly took the bottomed water cup in Neon's hand, poured a glass of water and handed it back. Neon took the glass and took a sip of it, calming down a little.

She took a deep breath, and then said: "It was the darkest day of my life, I went out early in the morning because I helped my mother deliver something to a relative's house, and when I came back, it was already evening, and I was far from home, I felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, I hurriedly quickened my pace and walked home, pushed open the door, and the bloody scene in front of me was the most unforgettable nightmare of my life...... In the courtyard, the corpses of the servants were strewn everywhere, the wounds on their bodies were bloody, and the floors and flowers were stained red with blood. I pretended to be calm and ran into the main hall and saw ...... His father died, hung from the beams of the house with a foot of white silk, and his mother died beside him, holding the hilt of the knife tightly in her hand, and the knife had entered her abdomen and came out of her back through the chamber. The floor was dripping with mother's blood. The cup in Neon's hand fell to the ground at some point, and she covered her face with both hands, as if trying to hide the picture in her mind at this moment, the bloody and brutal picture.

"My brother was gone, and I tried my body trembling with fear and trembling to search back and forth in the house many times, all under the bed in the corner, everywhere but I couldn't find it. My father and mother didn't commit suicide, I don't believe it, they won't be people who give up their lives easily, plus my father's abnormal behavior before, there must be some connection between this, I tried to find some clues, rummaging back and forth in my father's study, and finally, on the bookcase where my father often writes, I found a note pressed by the book at the bottom, which says danger, run away, don't track! Parent stays. The handwriting is sloppy, and it should have been left in a hurry. ”

"I was so frightened that my legs were weak, and I didn't have time to take anything, so I hurriedly ran to a cave in the back mountain, which was a secret base where my brother and I often played hide and seek, and only my brother and I knew. The entrance to the cave was covered by vines, so it would not be easily discovered by outsiders, and it was the safest place I could find at that time. ”

By this time it was already dark, and I was so frightened that I went into the cave and curled up in a corner, and I had suffered so much in the day that I fell asleep in a daze. In the middle of the night, I seemed to hear something in the haze, and I cautiously drilled out of the hole to look in the direction of my home, and it was actually a fire! Father and mother! I almost screamed, and quickly covered my mouth with my hand, and hid in the deepest part of the cave again, trembling with fright and sweating coldly! I guessed correctly, my father and mother must have been killed by the wicked, and this fire is the best proof of this! Those wicked people are back, and they must still be around here! I can't be found out by them, I can't go out now, I'm too young to be able to avenge my parents, I still have to live, I can't die! ”

"The fire burned all night, and the fire lit up half of the sky. There was also an occasional sound of talking near the cave, and I hid in the cave motionless, even breathing carefully, and gradually, the sound of talking became less, and when the day was getting brighter, I relaxed my vigilance and fell asleep unconsciously. I slept for two whole days, and two days later I woke up hungry and saw the cold walls of the cave, how I wished it was just a nightmare, but ...... I still clutched the note my father had left for me, each word was a bloody reminder of this fact, I forced myself to face the reality and walked out of the cave, but an inadvertent glance out of the corner of my eye made me find traces of my brother, who was still alive, he was not dead, he ...... Escaped. ”

"Di'an, don't hang up, ten years later, we will meet here! The words drawn in stone on the wall were in my brother's handwriting, and I touched them with tears in my eyes. That's the best news I've gotten in the last few days. Ten years later, meet here! I silently thought in my heart, and said to my brother and myself, I will definitely live well and avenge my father and mother! Then he picked up a stone from the ground and crossed out the words with all his might. I'm not going to give the villains the slightest chance to know anything about me and my brother's whereabouts. It wasn't long before the place was safe, so I crawled at the entrance of the cave and looked around vigilantly, making sure it was safe before I walked out. He took a deep look in the direction of home, resolutely turned around, and embarked on the journey of wandering the world and becoming homeless. ”

"But how difficult it is for a woman to wander alone, and when I went incognito to another town, I was caught by traffickers and sold many times. In the past two years, I have been hungry and full, and I have been whipped from time to time, if it weren't for the fact that this skin still has a bit of beauty, they always want to sell it for a good price and are unwilling to sell me to Qinglou easily, I'm afraid I won't even be innocent...... It's all gone. In the end, I took advantage of their defenselessness to break free and run out, but before I could go far, I was caught by another group of traffickers, who were probably new to the slave trade, so the price was not high, and they sold me for only five taels of silver, and then I met the young lady. ”

Speaking of this, Neon was about to kneel down again, but Shen Yanjiao didn't stop her, so she let her go. Neon wiped her face with tears on her cuffs, and said to Shen Yanjiao: "Miss, the maid Neon, because Miss has her own new life and hope for the future." The maidservant swears to heaven that she will be with the young lady to death in this life and will never betray! The maid knows that her ability is low and there is no hope of revenge, but the young lady will not be an ordinary person in the future, and she also asks the young lady if she has the opportunity in the future, she can avenge the revenge of the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid in this life and the next life will be regarded as a cow and a horse, and serve the young lady! ”
